We had a visitor

This photo was not taken yesterday, but I still want to show it. Roger's birthday is later in the week, but we celebrated yesterday. Lorelei spent the entire afternoon here with her mommy and daddy. I really should have taken pictures, but I was so busy just enjoying her that I didn't. She slept a big lot of the time...but when she wasn't she was all eyes. Looking and looking at everything.

The cats did not pay any attention to her, but our old dog was instantly smitten with her. I have had several part collie and one full blooded collie, and I just think that is the nature of them.

It is good we celebrated yesterday...it was rainy yesterday, but today it has turned cold and rainy. And we have even seen snow flurries this morn. I know that flurries are all that are predicted and for that I am thankful. I am now ready for spring to come and stay. I can't wait till I can sit out in the swing with Lorelei, or take her for a stroll around the block.

Camera Critters....

I thought I would share a couple more shots from the strip pits for Camera Crittters. I have more of pheasants taken another night--they were fighting. You can see them HERE.
And I have been trying and trying to capture a red-winged blackbird and not having much luck with a sharp picture. This one was the best of that night's attempts.

Beautiful sunset

I just checked the date on these photographs and they were taken Monday...the top one is what I seen as I was getting ready to get on the highway after leaving the strip pit area. And the bottom one was taken while there.
The sun in it reminds me of Lorelei...she is sure a bright spot in our life. We spent the day there yesterday and are going down tonight. Sarah told Jeremy we were coming to have the evening meal with them, but we are going to babysit and them go out to eat. She wants it to be a little surprise for him.

Lorelei is growing like a weed...and just so bright-eyed. If she is awake, her hands and arms are moving. And she is raising her head up. I don't think it will be long till she can turn herself over.

They are coming here tomorrow...Roger's birthday is the 31, so we are celebrating this weekend while every is off work. So I have things to prepare....will visit everyone when I get spare minutes.
